If this tool is subjected to unusually high
loads for which it was not designed (e.g.
heavy impact or a fall), always check
that it is in good condition before
continuing work. Check in particular that
the fuel system is tight (no leaks) and
that the controls and safety devices are
working properly. Do not continue
operating this machine if it is damaged.
In case of doubt, have it checked by your
STIHL servicing dealer.
THE USE OF THE POWER TOOL
Transporting the Power Tool
Carry the power drill with the drilling tool
pointing down or using a carry strap with
the drilling tool pointing to the rear – with
the hot muffler away from your body.
Remove the drilling tool before
transporting the power tool long
distances.
When transporting in a vehicle, properly
secure your power tool to prevent
turnover, fuel spillage and damage.
When the power tool is not in use, shut it
off and put it down so it cannot endanger
others.
Fuel
Your STIHL power tool uses an oil-
gasoline mixture for fuel (see the
chapter on "Fuel" of your instruction
manual).
Fueling Instructions
In order to reduce the risk of burns and
other personal injury from escaping gas
vapor and fumes, remove the fuel filler
cap on your power tool carefully so as to
allow any pressure build-up in the tank
to release slowly. Never remove the fuel
filler cap while the engine is running.
Select bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling
spot before starting the engine. Wipe off
any spilled fuel before starting your
machine.
Warning!
Never modify this power tool in any way.
Only attachments supplied by STIHL or
expressly approved by STIHL for use
with the specific STIHL model are
authorized. Although certain unauthor-
ized attachments, drills and augers are
useable with STIHL power tools, their
use may, in fact, be extremely
dangerous.
Warning!
Always stop the engine before putting
the power drill down or carrying it. Car-
rying a power drill with the engine
running is dangerous. Accidental accel-
eration of the engine can cause the
drilling tool to rotate.
Warning!
During operation, the powerhead muf-
fler and the material around it reach
extremely high temperatures. Avoid set-
ting down a hot unit onto dry, flammable
material, or touching the hot muffler, you
could receive serious burns.
Warning!
Gasoline is an extremely
flammable fuel. If spilled
and ignited by a spark or
other ignition source, it
can cause fire and seri-
ous burn injury or
property damage. Use extreme caution
when handling gasoline or fuel mix. Do
not smoke or bring any fire or flame near
the fuel or the power tool. Note that
combustible fuel vapor may escape
from the fuel system.
Warning!
Fuel your power tool in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors. Always shut off the
engine and allow it to cool before refu-
eling. Gasoline vapor pressure may
build up inside the fuel tank depending
on the fuel used, the weather conditions
and the tank venting system.
